Approximately 30 minutes by car from Naha Airport. The hotel is located in Nanjo City in the southern part of Okinawa’s main island. You can enjoy a natural hot spring with an ancient seawater source, which is rare in Okinawa.
A free bus runs from Naha Airport until the end of September, and there is also an inexpensive bus service called N-Bus that runs through Nanjo City.
Guest rooms include Japanese and Western-style rooms and family rooms, which can be enjoyed by guests of all ages.
Point 1: Yuinchi Hotel Nanjo offers hot spring baths with free-flowing hot-spring water!
At Yuinchi Hotel Nanjo, you can enjoy “Saruman-no-yu,” a natural hot spring that is rare in Okinawa.
Unlike volcanic hot springs on the mainland, this hot spring is very rare in that it is made by pumping and blending seawater from different strata, some 5 million years old and some 54 million years old, 2,119m to 1,500m below the surface.
It was named “Ape Man’s Hot Spring” because it is seawater from the time when the oldest human, Ardipithecus ramidus, was born. It is very interesting hot water.
This water is a chloride and iodine-containing spring that warms the body from the core and is also effective for neuralgia, muscle pain, joint pain, stiff shoulders, sensitivity to cold, and relief of fatigue.
The hotel also has a hot spring sommelier who can give you advice on bathing.
The hotel is located on a hill called Sashiki Hill, so you can take a bath while overlooking the Pacific Ocean, which is even more relaxing!
Point 2: Yuinchi Hotel Nanjo, from single travelers to families! A wide variety of room types!
The room types at Yuinchi Hotel Nanjo are suitable for both single travelers and families.
There are a total of 147 rooms, ranging from a 27㎡ standard Western-style room to a 64㎡ Royal Suite, with five types of Western-style rooms, three types of Japanese-style rooms, and two types of Japanese-style rooms. The Western-style rooms are decorated in soothing colors with vivid tropical fabrics, while the Japanese-style rooms are standard Japanese-style rooms that can accommodate everyone.
Both types of rooms are spacious enough to accommodate both solo travelers and families.
For example, the room in the photo is a “Japanese-style room with hot spring”, and you can enjoy the same hot spring as the Saruman no Yu without leaving your room.
The hotel grounds are large, and the “Sarunin no Yu” is in a separate building and a short walk away, so having a hot spring in the room is great for the elderly and others.
Point 3: Breakfast at Yuinchi Hotel Nanseong is also a lot of fun!
Restaurant Samphire at Yuinchi Hotel Nanjo offers a breakfast buffet.
Using carefully selected ingredients that are full of the producer’s thoughts, the 30 dishes that include Okinawan cuisine in addition to Japanese and Western, 20 desserts, and 10 drinks are overwhelming just by visuals alone.
Another attraction is the inexpensive price of about 12,600 yen for two persons including breakfast.
With a hot spring bath and, until the end of September, a free shuttle bus from Naha Airport, it can be said that this is a very cost-effective hotel.
